What is your religion?
« on: July 16, 2015, 09:06:59 PM »
Just curious! Also wanted to try out making a poll >.>

I've grouped/split denominations based on expected number of furs within the groups, not based on global size or importance, as well as from honest ignorance of denominations.

I'm sure this has been done before, but I didn't see one too recently! Anyway, stay civil!

P.S. Considered adding "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster", but didn't want to add such totally unnecessary options XD
I really need to re-RE-read the rules...

I believe in angels, but I'm not technically a Christian or anything. I don't believe Jesus was divine and whatnot.

"well to be honest im undenominational christian"

Dammit! I was so thorough! I guess not thorough enough. =P

"I believe in angels, but I'm not technically a Christian or anything. I don't believe Jesus was divine and whatnot."

Perhaps "deist"?

I believe in my own thing. It's apparently pretty close/similar to Deism, but I'm still enough of a snowflake to go with other other.

I used to be fairly Stupid and confrontational about religion, but I have mellowed out now, and just don't care unless your hurting someone.

Atheist bus i accidentally clicked other, lol. If i absolutely HAD to pick a religion/belief stance/whatever it would be Humanist. To quote Wikipedia:
Quote
Secular Humanism posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently evil or innately good, nor does it present humans as being superior to nature. Rather, the humanist life stance emphasizes the unique responsibility facing humanity and the ethical consequences of human decisions. Fundamental to the concept of secular humanism is the strongly held viewpoint that ideology—be it religious or political—must be thoroughly examined by each individual and not simply accepted or rejected on faith. Along with this, an essential part of secular humanism is a continually adapting search for truth, primarily through science and philosophy. Many Humanists derive their moral codes from a philosophy of utilitarianism, ethical naturalism, or evolutionary ethics, and some, such as Sam Harris, advocate a science of morality.

 FDF forever!



To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.

All good responses! :3

I think I allowed changing your vote? Maybe? XD I'm definitely a humanist myself! However, since it's a flavor of atheism I didn't include it.

Athiest.

I used to be fairly Stupid and confrontational about religion, but I have mellowed out now, and just don't care unless your hurting someone.

I must admit that I'm still a bit confrontational about it at times. It's not like "belief" is a stand-alone concept; it effects everything a person does! But, I'd better stop before I start a flame war on my own post XD

my religion is that I don't care..... I cannot believe that their is a higher power, nor do I believe that there is...... Is that making sense......

Believe there should have been a "not" in there or something. If my assumptions are correct, you're saying you kinda believe there is something but also can't believe in it? I'd recommended looking agnostic or deist views, as those may fit you fairly well =)

I dont see jedi so im going with other other

NICE XD


Hmm, thinking about it now... Are "Therian" and "Otherkin" considered religious viewpoints? I should have looked into that before creating this poll, considering the forum. XD
I really need to re-RE-read the rules...

My religion? My religion is life. I live it and I do what I can to make myself and those around me, human or otherwise, feel safe, loved and accepted. I don't follow the word of anything but positive morality. All religions are accepted and heeded by me, since they do all have some things to teach us, as do all forms of information on Earth. Every story has a lesson, and in all this infinity and paradox, anything could be real if you believe strongly enough.

I consider myself agnostic but feel there's a deeper explanation.
